"For-each" adjustable backdrop March 23, 2025, 7:04 a.m.

Hey team!
I was wondering, is it possible to generate an adjustable backdrop just like the for-each nodes ?
Through python or in any other way?
That's a popular RFE (feature request) but as of now it's still not possible to do so.
Reorder points March 21, 2025, 3:54 a.m.

I need help, I would like to know if there is any method to reorder the points in sequence (preferably in VEX), what I want to achieve is that the line connects with the next point as in image 2. Thank you
Hi,
There’s no direct way to reorder points in VEX. However, you can start from the first point, find its nearest neighbor, and create a direction vector between them. Then, in each iteration, use the pccone [www.sidefx.com] function to find the next nearest point within a cone, and afterward update the direction using the most recent pair of points.

Here is one way:
int pts [ ] = pcfind ( 0, "P2", v@P2, ch("radius"), chi("maxpts") ); int foundpts [ ] = array ( ); foreach ( int pt; pts ) { int id = point ( 0, "class", pt ); if ( i@class != id ) { append ( foundpts, pt ); break; } } if ( len ( foundpts ) > 0 ) addprim ( 0, "polyline", @ptnum, foundpts [ 0 ] );
